Sunday mornings on Edisto 🌅☕️. The clouds paint the sky just enough to let the sunrise peek through — soft, golden, and slow, like the first sip of coffee. 🎶✨ #thisisedisto

A visit to Edisto Island. The beach at Botany Bay is scattered with skeletons of fallen trees & you can walk among them at low tide. What a neat place!

Edisto plays by its own rules.

No agenda, no rush. Do as little or as much as you want. The island meets you however you show up and before you realize what`s happening, it`s already worked its way into your soul.

You`re already thinking about going back before the trip is even over.

That`s just what Edisto does.

Update: Finished it! Super cute! 10/10. Highly recommend. VBF is great at catching you up if you didn’t read the first book, but there is only one other so far…so why wouldn’t you just snag and read both! Disclaimer: there is some spicy in this book. So if that isn’t your thing…maybe it’s not for you, but I like a little spicy every now and then. 😃

FINALLY pulling The Violet Hour by Victoria Benton Frank from my TBR pile. I absolutely adored My Magnolia Summer, and while The Violet Hour could technically be read as a standalone… I wouldn’t recommend it.
My Magnolia Summer is just too good to skip and even though book two fills you in as you go, there’s nothing quite like experiencing the original.

Feeling a little homesick for the low country!

Some days, the Edisto shoreline is just a line between the blues—ocean below, sky above—but in that simple line, there’s a whole world of calm. 🌊✨ #ThisIsEdisto #OceanDreaming

a weekend on Edisto Island 🏝️ part 3

...apparently painted geese were only the beginning of whatever this new found obsession is. I`ve now discovered this island is full of painted turtles & I must photograph them ALL. 📸

Ever seen a place where nature tells the story? Botany Bay on Edisto Island is untouched, undisturbed and unforgettable. 🐚🌴

Here the ocean meets history and the ancient trees stand bare but beautiful, holding hauntingly beautiful secrets.

Nicknamed the "boneyard", the 3 miles of beachfront is scattered with dead trees bleached white by the sun.

If you ever need a break from the noise, this is the place to find stillness. No crowds, just raw nature. 🌊🌊

Tag someone in the comments you’d take with you to walk this forgotten shoreline! ⬇️📍🧭

⚠️ Protected heritage preserve= no removing of shells/natural artifacts
Free to visit

📍 Tortuga’s Mexican Grill - 114 Jungle Road, Suite E - Edisto Island, SC

Tortuga’s Mexican Grill is a fast-casual Mexican restaurant that opened in Edisto Island, South Carolina in May 2019. It was founded by husband and wife Chris & Sheila Porzuczek. Originally from Colorado, the Porzuczeks relocated to Edisto Island while searching for a slower-paced life and warmer weather. One thing they noticed right away was that the island did not have a Mexican restaurant. They decided to become restaurateurs and brought the first Mexican restaurant to the area. Depending on the season, Tortuga’s offers breakfast, lunch and dinner to their clientele. The menu offers locally-sourced Mexican fare: a tribute to Chris’s Mexican heritage. Everything from the guacamole to the tortillas, salsas and homemade hot sauces are made fresh and daily in house. The restaurant is also eco-friendly. The Porzuczeks use potato-based cutlery, plant-based straws and compostable packaging.

My family and I visited Tortuga’s for dinner this past summer while we were on a road trip. Edisto Island is a small beach community with only a handful of restaurants. We were excited when we heard that there was a good Mexican restaurant not far from our hotel. The place is small with only a limited amount of seating. Fortunately we arrived just before the big dinner crowd. After looking over the menu, I decided to order the “Shrimp Burrito” (local shrimp, black bean corn salsa, rice, cheddar jack cheese, lettuce, sour cream, homemade pork green chile, mild sauce) my wife ordered the “Black Bean Tostadas” (2 fried corn tortillas topped with guacamole, black beans, peppers & onions, cilantro, queso fresco & sour cream, side of rice, lettuce & pico), and our older son ordered the “Chicken Quesadilla” off of the Kids’ Menu. We also ordered the “Nachos Gordo” (with carnitas) for the table to share. Everything was so authentic, delicious and fresh-tasting! This was also the first time our older son tasted nachos and he’s a fan now. He was asking for nachos on the rest of our road trip. We all had an excellent experience at Tortuga’s and we highly recommend them to people visiting Edisto Island! 🇲🇽🌮🌯

So THIS HAPPENED!!! I was chosen to be the featured photographer in this year’s Edisto Island Guide. If you know anything about me, you know that Edisto is my sacred place. I have so much family history there which has, in turn, created so many of my most favorite memories in this lifetime. To be chosen for this is the biggest honor of my lesliehallphoto journey. If you’re on Edisto this summer, make sure to grab a copy! Xoxoxo

📍Driftwood Beach - 1066 Botany Bay Rd - Edisto Island, SC

Driftwood Beach (aka “Boneyard Beach” or “Botany Bay Beach”) is a remote beach and nature preserve located in Edisto Island, South Carolina. It is part of the Botany Bay Heritage Plantation Preserve and is named after the large proliferation of driftwood on the beach. It is often referred to as a ‘boneyard beach’ because the aged driftwood has a white ‘bone’ appearance due to sun-bleaching and the presence of salt. This picturesque coastal wildlife refuge is a sanctuary for wildlife and offers visitors a chance to witness the undisturbed beauty of the Lowcountry landscapes.

My family and I visited the Driftwood Beach this past summer while we were on a road trip. We stayed in Edisto Island for a few days and heard great things about the beach. You can only drive so far before you come to the parking area. From there, visitors must walk about half a mile through a marshland path before they come upon the beach. It was unlike any beach we had ever seen before. It was very eerie, yet beautiful and serene. It also looked like a place out of prehistory. We almost expected a dinosaur to show up at any minute. This isn’t a beach you visit to go swimming or lay out in the sun. This is a beach that you visit for the breathtaking, picturesque views of unspoiled shoreline. We were so happy to have discovered this enchanted coastline and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edisto Island!

📍Edisto Environmental Learning Center - 362 Oyster Row Ln - Edisto Island, SC

The Edisto Environmental Learning Center is an educational facility and museum that opened at Edisto Beach State Park in Edisto Island, South Carolina in 2004. The facility features exhibits that cover the natural and cultural aspects of the ACE Basin which includes the Lowcountry watersheds of the Ashepoo, Combahee, and Edisto rivers. Visitors can also see live animals, touch tanks, feeding programs, prehistoric fossils, and various educational programs.

My family and I visited the Edisto Environmental Learning Center this past summer while we were on a road trip. We stayed in Edisto Island for a few days. One night while at dinner, a local resident noticed that my wife and I had small children and recommended that we take them to the center. We went to check it out the following day and we were glad that we did. There were lots of fun exhibits that focused on animals from the local river system, including crocodiles, fish and turtles. One of the staff even brought out a live baby alligator for our two sons to see and touch. The museum also had a really cool interactive replica of a research boat. My older son had a lot of fun pretending that he was the captain. Afterwards, we all attended a special presentation about alligators and snakes. There were even some live snakes for everyone to see. Overall we had a fun visit here and we recommend it to any families visiting Edisto Island! 🐊
